How we worked it out

Vitamin C

  • Servings: 180 ÷ 1 per serving = 180
  • In the pack: 180 × 500 mg = 90 g
  • £7.50 ÷ 90 g × 1 g = 8.33p per 1 g
  • A week 8.33p × 7 = 58p · a month × 30 = £2.50 · a year × 365 = £30.42
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.

Zinc

  • Servings: 180 ÷ 1 per serving = 180
  • In the pack: 180 × 15 mg = 2.7 g
  • £7.50 ÷ 2.7 g × 15 mg = 4.17p per 15 mg zinc
  • A week 4.17p × 7 = 29p · a month × 30 = £1.25 · a year × 365 = £15.21
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.
